Re: CAN-SPAM Act Rulemaking, Project No. R411008To the Commissioners,I reaaly appreciate your efforts to solve the problem ofspam email. But I am really concerned aboutthe proposed requirement for merchants to maintainsuppression lists.Requirement of the use of suppression lists willseriously damage many of the legitimate publicationsavailable on the net. My specific concern is for harm topublishers who require permission from the consumerprior to adding them to any list.There's also the potential for significant harm toconsumers, because of the problem of properly knowingtheir intent when they unsubscribe from a list. On topof that, these suppression lists could easily fall intothe hands of spammers, leading to more spam instead ofless.I was quite surprised at the potential problems thisruling could involve, and urge you in the strongestpossible terms to reconsider its implementation in lightof these problems,Best regards,Eugene ElyashevCalifornia, US
